“The book you hold in your hands is more powerful than you know, more illuminating than you assume, more transformative than you imagine. If you are weak-kneed or faint of heart, drop it and run. If you’re happily complacent or content to live on autopilot, turn back now. Because this book will change the way you see everything. The Sacred Enneagram is not a just book about an ancient personality framework with a funny name. It is a roadmap to self-understanding written by one of the great spiritual practitioners of my generation. Read it now and you can thank me later.”

Theology
“Most books on the cross of Christ are regurgitations of outmoded atonement theories that say almost nothing memorable. But Brian Zahnd has once again broken the mold with his revolutionary book The Wood Between the Worlds. Herein we have acapacious portrait of Jesus' sacrifice that is so stunningly beautiful and uniquely framed that the reader cannot look away. An enrapturing volume to reignite the church's curiosity around the crucifixion penned by one of today's most provocative pastors.”
Arts & Literature
“I'm one of those people who likes the idea of reading poetry more than actually reading it. Occasionally, however, I stumble on a poet like Drew Jackson, whose lyrical language and urgent themes set a hook in me. Drawing on the liberating Jesus of Luke's Gospel, Jackson explores heritage, history, and a longing for freedom. Touch the Earth pushes back against the spirit of scarcity and invites readers into an achingly authentic spirituality. Whether you are a 'poetry person' or not, this book will leave you mesmerized.”
Women
“Plato believed that the stories the young first encounter should be models of virtue. Sadly, many modern books are empty wrappers of thought-candy that stimulate our brains but cannot sustain our hunger for substance. In the midst of such a moment, Allison Trowbridge offers a book of plummeting depth that still manages to both dazzle and captivate. Twenty-Two is a timeless guide to life and love, grief and celebration that lunges at you with both the spirit of Plato and flashes of uncommon wisdom. If you’re a young woman—or young man, actually—you cannot afford to miss this book.”
Christian Living
“Like its author, Uniquely You is innovative, impactful, and truly transformational. This book speaks to the power your own story has to transform your life and organization. If you miss out on this book, you do so at your own peril.”
Christian Living
“Joy can be hard to come by in a time like this. Nicole Zasowski combines her hard-fought wisdom and expertise as a therapist to create a practical book that’s a boatload of fun to read. What If It’s Wonderful? is a field guide to cultivating contentment and joy no matter how difficult your circumstances may be. As Nicole brilliantly reminds us, when the world is on fire, celebration is both a salve and a salvation. This book could not be more timely!”
History & Biography
“White Knuckle Love is the book that countless spiritually traumatized people have been waiting for. April Stace shares an authentic narrative about finding God’s presence in unlikely places—from a New York City subway to the dance floor of a lesbian bar—in order to remind readers to trust their holy intuitions and stay awake to the Divine. This book is part field guide, part operator’s manual, and wholly needed in this moment.”
Why Churches Need to Talk about Sexuality
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The topic of LGBTQ inclusion is among the most debated, and sadly, the most divisive religious issues today. Why Churches Need to Talk About Sexuality is a helpful guide to understanding what's at stake, why it matters, and how churches' unwillingness to discuss this topic has harmed countless marginalized people. Mark Wingfield writes with both a reporter's curiosity with a preacher's clarity, and the result is a helpful roadmap for navigating a conversation that Christians can no longer avoid. Readers on both sides of this contentious issue will find space to wrestle in the pages of this book.”
Apologetics
“The American public square is now more cantankerous and less civil than perhaps any time in the modern era. How should a Christian live and speak hope without merely adding more noise? Muehlhoff and Langer's book Winsome Persuasion casts a positive vision for a way forward and indeed models it. This is a book whose time has come.”
